Irregular Figures How would you find the area of this figure?
Area of Irregular Figures 2 different ways… 1st Method: 1. Break the irregular shape up into known figures. 2. Find the area of each known figure. 3. Add all areas together to find the area of the irregular figure.
Area of Irregular Figures 2nd Method: Fill in the missing space. Find the area of the large, filled in figure. Then, find the area of smaller shape. Subtract. Area of large – Area of small = Area of composite figure
